BBC英語口語對話
John: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I’m John.
Jean: 大家好，我是董征。歡迎收聽我們的地道英語節(jié)目。
John: In Real English today we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
John: Today’s word is skive, to skive.
Jean: Skive, 這個(gè)詞是什么意思呢？
John: Well you can use skive to talk about children who aren’t at school when they should be.
Insert 1
My brother was really naughty at school, he was always skiving off lessons to go and play football instead.
Jean: 噢，這個(gè)詞挺有用的。Skive就是偷懶逃學(xué)、逃課的意思吧？
John: Yes, and we heard there that the phrase is often used with the word ‘off’ - ‘to skive off’.
Jean: To skive off, 去逃學(xué)了。不過skive是只在形容學(xué)生逃課的時(shí)候才用的'嗎？
John: No, you can use it to talk about work as well.
Insert 2
I haven’t got much work to do today. D’you fancy skiving and going for a long lunch?
Jean: OK, 原來skive還可以用來形容偷懶工作開小差的意思��？
John: That’s right, you can skive off from work, skive off from school. But you can also use it to mean being in the right place – at school or at work - but not actually doing any work!
Insert 3
He’s been skiving all day – just checking his email and playing on the internet – he hasn’t done any work at all!
Jean: Skiving也可以用來形容那些上著班卻不干正事的行為！對了 John，那這些偷懶逃學(xué)不干正事的人，我們有沒有個(gè)詞來形容他們呢？
John: Yes, you can call them skivers.
Jean: Skivers偷懶逃學(xué)不務(wù)正事者，對，這個(gè)詞好！
John: But it’s not really that naughty, most people skive off sometimes.
Jean: 是嗎？難道你也這樣嗎John？
John: Yes, I suppose I sometimes skive when I should be working but not very often!
Jean: 那好吧，看你偷懶程度不算嚴(yán)重，我們先暫時(shí)不叫你skiver好啦。
John: I hope not.
Jean: 不過，今天我們的節(jié)目時(shí)間就又到了。
John: Join us next time for more Real English from BBC Learning English
Jean: Goodbye!
John: Bye-bye!
